MANTEL MAKE-OVER

This is the time of year between seasons that everything looks a little blah and tends to bring your spirit down right along with it! Trying to shake off the mid-winter blues, I decided to give my living room mantel a little face-lift! I hadn't really done much with it after Christmas and thought it was about time. So I spruced and spiffed it up a little.

I added a combination of both new and old embellishments~~

...Some architectural interest

I wish the mirror in this fabulous frame was old, but alas it is not. This cute birdie clock was purchased at Pier One!

My wonderful vintage aquarium purchased a little while ago now houses some candles and moss. Will have fun changing this up with the seasons!!

Love my repro doggie! Hopefully this little make-over will help make me feel like spring will be coming soon!!

About Me

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 34 years. We live on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and have 3 grown children and one grandchild--a boy named Jackson. I have been collecting antiques for over 30 yrs. and selling for about 11. I sell in an antique mall and also rent a fairly large room in a store called The Red Rooster in Plymouth, WI and now on Etsy too. I love to go junking and displaying the treasures I find!
